Title: Fat Girl Walking: Sex, Food, Love, and Being Comfortable in Your Skin...Every Inch of It

Author: Brittany Gibbons

Narrator: Lauren Fortgang

Format: Unabridged

Length: 06:33:09

Language: English

Release date: 05-26-15

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Comedy, Essays & Memoirs

Summary:

Told through a series of larger-than-life snapshots, a hilarious memoir in essays about love, sex, marriage, motherhood, bikinis, and loving your body, no matter what size you are from the acclaimed blogger and body image advocate.

Brittany Gibbons has been a plus size her whole life. But instead of hiding herself in the shadows of thinner women, Brittany became a wildly popular blogger and national spokesmodelknown for stripping on stage at TedX and standing in Times Square in a bikini on national television, and making skinny people everywhere uncomfortable.

Talking honestly about size and body image on her popular blog, brittanyherself.com, she has ignited a national conversation. Now in her first book, she shares hilarious and painfully true stories about her life as a weird overweight girl growing up in rural Ohio, struggling with dating and relationships, giving the middle finger to dieting, finding love with a man smaller than her, accidentally having three kids, and figuring out the secret to loving her curves and becoming a nationally recognized body image advocate. And theres sex, lots of it!

Fat Girl Walking isnt a diet book. It isnt one of those former fat people memoirs about how someone battled, and won, in the fight against fat. Brittany doesnt lose all the weight and reveal the happy, skinny girl thats been hiding inside her. Instead, she reminds us that being chubby doesnt mean youll end up alone, unhappy, or the subject of a cable medical show. Whats important is learning to love your shape. With her infectious humor and soul-baring honesty, Fat Girl Walking reveals a life full of the same heartbreak, joy, oddity, awkwardness, and wonder as anyone elses. Just with better snacks.
